  1. Fingers crossed for a reasonable selling price. After forking out for the 1dx mkiii last year the chances of persuading the boss that this is a must have could be difficult especially if its over £5k.
  2. Seriously, a dream camera body for me however I just got the R6 and that will have to suffice for 6-10 years, now that I am in semi retirement. Those of you who do go this route enjoy, please review & share share share.
  3. I hope they have various FPS rates for the electronic shutter usage - 30 fps if forced would be way too fast for me if it's the only choice.
    Hopefully the eye tracking AF is a *new* "game changer". They're on a roll with great AF and I hope it continues here!
    Other than that, this seems to be a great body! I hope it's not too expensive - well, yes, that is such a relative term! :sneaky:
  4. Glad to hear it is being announced at the end of June. A bit sooner than I anticipated. Hopefully, this means that it will ship in late August / early September at the latest. Would be thrilled to see it released in early August.
  5. Anything under 30.2 MP is a child's play thing.
    I just kept thinking "please let it be more than 30MP". Now, here we are at 30.1.

    But even if it is "just" 30MP, I am sure it will be fabulous. Just not quite as exciting for getting close to birds, but hopefully even better AF and image quality to make up for it.
